USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Violence erupted in the area between Native Americans and U.S. settlers in the region and in Kentucky. In George Washington’s first term as President of the United States, the U.S. launched two major campaigns to subdue the British supported confederacy and protect borders from the British.

Detailed explanation-2: -Anthony Wayne served as an officer in the Continental Army during the American Revolution. His military exploits earned him the nickname “Mad Anthony". During the Revolution, Wayne played an important role in the 1777 Philadelphia campaign, the Battle of Monmouth, and the southern campaign.

Detailed explanation-3: -Under Wayne’s leadership, however, the results were much different. At the Battle of Fallen Timbers in August 1794, near present day Toledo, Ohio, Wayne and his combined force of regulars and mounted Kentucky militia, routed the Indians and largely eliminated the Indian threat in the Northwest Territory.

Detailed explanation-4: -His most brilliant exploit of the war was the successful storming of the British fort at Stony Point, New York (July 16, 1779). This feat gave a huge boost in morale to the American armies. Wayne earned the name “Mad Anthony” because of his tactical boldness and his personal courage in the field.
